Default HID ballast mounts?

I've searched high and low and haven't come up with much. Can anyone suggest any place to buy ballast mounting brackets?

I just installed a Phillips 4200K HID plug-n-play system in my '93 SC. Love it but don't love using adhesive tape to anchor the ballasts.

I've found a couple of pictures of people mounting their ballasts in the nose on the other side of the radiator and thought I'd try that method (I have a '97+ front bumper conversion with the open grill if that makes any difference).

I have found zero listings or model numbers for ballast brackets. This seems like something really common but my kit did not come with them.

Does anyone have some suggestions?

A guy on here put his on the bar there around the headlights. KingPhillip has posted this once or twice in posts reguarding HIDs bud.

Do NOT use adhesive pads anywhere in the engine bay due to the heat - they will fail quickly

As I've found out, they are failing on me. The ballasts are hanging in there OK. I check them at least once a day. I really need a bracket solution fast. I didn't find much of anything searching for posts by kingphillip.

Edit: I ordered one of these. I forget which:
